Honestly I think 7 but I'm not sure I haven't done ratios in a long time
What do you need help with?
The total number of stickers the 2 children had was 192 stickers.
Let x represent Mary initial stickers, y represent Gary initial stickers and z represent the total stickers.
x + y = z
They shared in the ratio of 5:3, hence:
x = (5/8)z
Mary gives 1/3 of her stickers to Gary to have 32 more stickers than her.
(1/3)x = (1/3)(5/8)z = (5/24)z
y + (1/3)x = (2/3)x + 32
Solving equation 1, 2 and 3 gives:
x = 120, y = 72, z = 192
The total number of stickers the 2 children had was 192 stickers.
